Fibromyalgia syndrome (fibromyalgiasyndrome, FS) is a non-articular rheumatism with clinical manifestations of multiple pains and stiffness in the musculoskeletal system, and tender points in specific locations. Fibromyalgia syndrome can be secondary to trauma, various rheumatic diseases, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and various non-rheumatic diseases (such as hypothyroidism, malignant tumors). This type of fibromyalgia syndrome is called secondary fibromyalgia syndrome, or if there is no other disease, it is called primary fibromyalgia syndrome.
